The best dentist I've ever seen. I have a tremendous fear of dentists. Many have refused to treat me and have referred me to offices that administer nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") to calm my anxiety. My husband had been treated by Dr. Herbst and told me he was a great endodontist. So, I drove to Dr. Herbst's office in Laurel from my home in McLean, VA. The trip was well worth it. I was thrilled with his skill. He has large hands that work smoothly and skillfully. But, most important to me, was that he was gentle and soothing. I wasn't at all afraid. I left happy. My tooth never hurt. And, the next day, I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from his receptionist Karen who asked how I was doing. A few days later I heard from Dr. Herbst himself. I would recommend Dr. Herbst to everyone who has a painful toothache or who knows that they need root canal surgery. If you have fear of the pain that can be caused by dental surgery, he's definitely the right choice.
